BAN THE ‘B’ WORD — PERHAPS THERE’S A BETTER WAY.
The Start of a New Movement…
Like some of you, I’ve been fed a line that’s starting to wear thin.
Like some of you, I find life can be so very full … of good and bad and lovely and overwhelming things … but, the bottom line is, it’s full.
Like some of you, I’m becoming disillusioned by a quality of life I’m supposed to be able to attain and maintain, but often feels out of grasp.
Does this ring any bells?
Work-life balance is THE uber-goal of our time. The ultimate achievement. The sign that we’re doing everything right. Yet just how often do we actually feel like we’ve got it?
Perhaps during our holidays, when we’ve finally forgotten about the pile of work we’ve left behind? When, for once, we get home at a reasonable hour, so that we can read our kids a bedtime story or watch their school play? When the autumnal weather clears long enough for us to go for a run, mow the lawn and have a sunset barbecue with friends and family, all in one day?
Those are special moments, but we don’t have those moments every day. Because there’s always something demanding our time, for which we have to trade something else.
